Nice idea, but I need help to get it to work, take a look:

  /tmp $ cat makefile

  $(eval $(shell echo -e 'bam=hi\nfoo=123'))

  .PHONEY: bar
  bar:
          @echo foo: $(foo)
          @echo 
          @echo bam: $(bam)
  /tmp $ make bar
  foo:

  bam: hi foo=123

What should the eval code be changed to so that foo has the proper value
of '123'?  I need to support shell output defining about 7 macros,
each of which needs to be parsed by make as a separate line (right?).

I've looked the texinfo help on 'eval'; my hunch is this is possible,
with proper metaquoting, and possibly the use of define, call, or another
approach I'm unaware of.  Any help or examples appreciated.
